Let there be light!

Just an experiment with some 3do's and mats to make beams of light in JK. Mats for the lightbeam 3do's were designed and created by Admiral Zarn. Inspired by Metallica.

Use transluscencies. Blocks light. Etc. That looks horrid.

Yeah, translucency and at least 8 sides on those cones. Come on, Jk can handle a lot more polies!

We already had good lightbeams in jk... Or at least beams that look a helluvalot better than those: http://www.massassi.net/tutorials/advancedlighting/

Seriously those things don't resemble lightbeams at all... More like rice-pudding *pukes*.

not to be mean, cuz thats a lot better than Ive ever attempted to do, but it looks like a pee fountain just turning on. The conceptual architecture is fantastic btw.

ive tried the same way of creating fading light using dissolving light. Although I used higher res and used higher polies with translucent surfaces.

It didnt suck.
But it didnt pwn.
Code:
if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}
